This week’s featured song story comes to us from for KING & COUNTRY. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their single “God Only Knows.”

“‘God Only Knows’ is one of those songs that you know…there’s inward songs that were written about specific circumstances and you hope someone else resonates with them. This was a song looking out.There seems to be a lot of you said this, you did this, how dare you. The song is really a question mark of well first of all do we really understand each other fully? Our histories, our family heritages, the struggles in life, the things that have been done to us that no one knows about. The shame that we carry. Some of it we’ve done to ourselves, that’s self sabotage. Some of it other people have done to us. You’re just seeing a brief moment in time of that person. What if we pulled the lens back? Even if we did, there are some things that God does only know. We’ve got our shame, we’ve got our troubles, we’ve got our prejudice, we’ve got our judgements. God knows your heart and in turn the flip of that is, God also carries this love that is sort of the superman of all love. We kind of are image bearers and so we emulate it, but it’s just this wonderful superhuman love that if we really lean into it it’d be a beautiful thing. But so often we don’t understand because we’re stuck in a human variation of it.” – for KING & COUNTRY

Wide awake while the world is sound asleepin’
Too afraid of what might show up while you’re dreamin’
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody, nobody would believe you
Every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave you
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody, nobody would believe you

God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows

There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love

You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them they would leave
But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you

God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows

There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love

For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
Oh for the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
‘Cause there’s a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
But there’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you’ve been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows

There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love
There’s a kind of love that
There’s a kind of love

God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of love that God only knows
